The Mi-290 Taru was designed for operation by CSAT as a heavy-lift transport helicopter. The vast majority of these air frames were taken away by CSAT after they left the island, however, some older models have been illegal imported onto the island by the dealer known as "Con Air". As these air frames have not passed the rigorous air safety standards they are considered highly illegal by the [[Altis Police Service]]. The only exception being the Medical Variant which was imported specifically by the [[National Health Service]]

Overview

The Mi-290 Taru is a rarely seen sight across Altis due to the illegal nature and high cost of the Helicopter. There are currently 3 variants available if you know where to go, these being the Transport, Bench and Fuel variants.

Design

The Taru features 2 Coaxial rotors removing the need for a tail rotor allowing all its power to be dedicated towards stability and lifting. Using a unique modular design, the Taru is able to connect different "Pods" to alter its role.

Features

Armouring across the air frame

Countermeasure launchers

Large passenger / Cargo section

Notable Traits

Incredibly Loud - Easy to detect from range.

Mobility

The Taru is much more stable due to its rotor design

Due to the large air frame it is considerably less manoeuvrable than other helicopters.

Crew Capacity

The Taru Transport can carry a maximum of 19 people - 3 Crew and 16 Passengers

The Taru Bench can carry a maximum of 11 People - 3 Crew and 8 Passengers
